Big Data: The New Challenges in Data Mining

Big data is a new term used to identify the datasets but due to their large size and complexity, the authors cannot manage them with their current methodologies or data mining software tools. With the fast development of networking, data storage, and the data collection capacity, big data is now rapidly expanding in all science and engineering domains, including physical, biological and biomedical sciences. Big data mining is the capability of extracting useful information from these large datasets or streams of data, that due to its volume, variability, and velocity, it was not possible before to do it.
